I'm so sorry, my flistees. It's been a hectic few days, and more hectic times to come as DHS is sending me on a two-day training in Brooklyn starting tomorrow.
I've sorted through my Infinitus pics, but I still need to upload them to post. In the meantime, here is a short video of the sorting hat. If you listen carefully, you can hear the sorting hat warn you not to get on the Forbidden Journey actual ride (past the queue through the castle) if you are pregnant or suffer motion sickness. I should have listened - as I can't even ride the subway sitting backwards without getting woozy. Nevertheless, I'm glad I went on it, even if I was still sick the next morning as the other snapecasters unfortunately witnessed.
In other news, I had my dinner party Saturday night and it was a great success. The food came out exactly as I hoped- my brother couldn't get enough of my hummus or my leek tarts. The lemon/fume sauce for the fish and zucchini was light and creamy and frothy just as Eric Ripert describes in the book. And I got the kids to eat veggies, whole wheat bread, and entertain themselves with the kitties and NO TV ALL EVENING.
My SiL wants to do it again. :)
Here is Jenna playing with Calliope
Now I'm off to another meeting, and tonight is CSA night again! I'm hoping for cilantro, as I've got two ideas in mind.
Ciao for now!
